Sandra McCracken's third album, Best Laid Plans is by far her most ambitious and refined work to date. Produced by Peter Collins, every song is seamlessly performed and delivered with an honesty that has both weightiness and ease. While it is not a departure in style from Sandra's previous works, listeners are sure to discover new dimensions of Sandra's artistry. Sandra has risen with a musical maturity that makes this album feel like it could be her first. Several of the tracks you may recognize from her live shows, songs like Age After Age (Standing on their Shoulders) and No More Tears have been crowd favorites over the past 2 years of touring. At long last, Sandra McCracken listeners can leave their scratchy old bootlegs of live recordings behind, and pop in a finished CD of these songs at their finest.
